Abstract

Frantz Fanon and Edward Said are the founders of Postcolonialism. In urdu literary world, it is a new style of criticism which has been introduced in the early years of 21st century. Postcolonialism analyzes, explains and responds to the cultural legacy of colonialism. Postcolonialism helps to discuss the struggle of characters for their specific cultural identities in the wake of colonization. Novel is such a unique multidimensional genre of literature that covers all aspects of life. Culture is an integral part of life. That's why culture is also an integral part of novel too. Akhtar Raza Saleemi is a prominent urdu novelist of 21st century. He is the first urdu novelist who introduced Hazarvi life and rituals in urdu novel. His both novels Jaage hain Khawab mein and Jander specially  focus the cultural activities of Hazara region in the post colonial context. Therefore,this research paper interprets the cultural aspects of novels of Akhter Raza Saleemi in the lens of postcolonial criticism.
